Home My WebLink AboutPLN 19-13 city o¢ Report to Planning & Development Committee A�7- � n ``-',4 I 111401 Report Number: PLN 19-13 Date: September 3, 2013 From: Thomas Melymuk Director, City Development Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Wind Mobile 270 Highway 7 Installation #56 Recommendation: That Wind Mobile be advised that City Council does not object to the proposed 60.0 metre high telecommunication tower installation located at 270 Highway 7, based on the design and other details submitted with this request Executive Summary: In February 2013, Wind Mobile submitted a proposal to the City Development Department to construct a 60.0 metre high lattice style telecommunication tower at 270 Highway 7. Since the submission of the initial proposal, Wind Mobile has completed their public consultation process in accordance with Industry Canada requirements. Wind Mobile has advised that no public comments were received and are requesting that City Council provide a statement of concurrence in support of the installation. City staff are supportive of the proposed installation. There does not appear to be acceptable opportunities to co-locate this installation with an existing tower in the immediate area. In view of the public consultation conducted by the applicant and Council engagement associated with this proposal, the processing of this application through this report is not considered contrary to Council's recent resolutions respecting cell towers. It is recommended that Wind Mobile be advised that City Council does not object to the proposed cell tower at 270 Highway 7, based on the design and other details submitted with this request. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. Report PLN 19-13 September 3, 2013 Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Page 2 1. Background 1.1 Applicant's Proposal In February 2013, Wind Mobile submitted a letter to the City Development Department requesting comments on their proposal to construct a 60.0 metre high lattice style telecommunication tower at 270 Highway 7 (see Location Map, Attachment#1). The tower is proposed to be located at the north-west corner of the subject property. The base of the tower is approximately 2.9 metres wide. The ground cabinet, which houses the radio equipment, occupies an area of 100 square metres and is located at the base of the tower. The tower and ground cabinet will be located in a fenced compound measuring approximately 10.0 metres by 10.0 metres. Access is proposed from the existing driveway off Highway 7 (see Applicant's Submitted Site Plan and Tower Elevation Plan, Attachments #2 and #3). 1.2 Property Location and Description The subject property is located on the north side of Highway 7, west of Sideline 32, at the eastern limit of the Hamlet of Green River. The subject property is privately owned and currently supports a residential building. The surrounding land uses include agricultural/residential uses to the north, east, south and west. The closest residential property (265 Highway 7) is approximately 100 metres south of the proposed tower. The subject property is designated as Rural Settlement - Rural Hamlet Area in the Pickering Official Plan and is zoned `HMR1/HMC6' — Hamlet Residential Detached Dwelling/Hamlet Commercial Zone in By-law 3037, as amended by By-law 2676/88. The Hamlet Commercial Zone permits the establishment of a general contractors yard and outdoor storage. 2. Comments Received 2.1 Required Public Notification has been completed City Development staff are in the process of developing a protocol respecting the installation of telecommunication towers for City Council's consideration. It is anticipated that this protocol will be forwarded to City Council for its consideration in the fall of 2013. In the absence of a City protocol, applicants must follow Industry Canada requirements as outlined in the Client Procedures Circular (CPC) 2-0-03 Issue 4, entitled "Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna - System s". Report PLN 19-13 September 3, 2013 Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Page 3 The Industry Canada requirements for public consultation require the proponent to consult with the land use authority, and the public within a radius of three times the tower height, measured from the tower base or the outside perimeter of the supporting structure. Based on the proposed 60 metre tower height, the proposed installation required notification to the 6 adjoining property owners within a 180 metre radius. The Province of Ontario is the owner of five of the neighboring properties and the notification was extended to two additional private property owners located outside of the required circulation radius. The local ratepayers association was also sent a copy of the public consultation package for comment. Wind Mobile has indicated that they have delivered written notification to the adjoining property owners, ratepayers association and placed a notice of the proposed installation in the April 24, 2013 edition of the Pickering News Advertiser. They also confirmed that no public comments were received as a result of the public notification process (see Applicant's Public Consultation Report, Attachment#4). 2.2 Agency Comments Toronto and Region • TRCA has advised that the property is partially Conservation Authority located in a regulated area of the Duffins Creek (TRCA ) Watershed; however the proposed location of the telecommunication tower is outside of their regulated area and therefore have no objection to the works and confirmed no permit is required from the TRCA 2.3 Co-location opportunities have been examined The installation and creation of separate, stand alone, radio communication towers and broadcasting facilities is discouraged unless all other co-location options have been explored and are considered unfeasible. There are two telecommunication towers in the area. The first tower is located on an unopened road allowance (Sideline 34) between Whitevale Road and Highway 407 and the other tower is located on 16th Avenue in the City of Markham. These towers were examined for co-location and the proponent has advised that they are not suitable candidates for co-location as they are located outside their search area. The applicant indicated that the proposed tower will accommodate future co-location opportunities. 2.4 Council Resolutions In May 2011, City Council passed a resolution requesting Industry Canada to cease consideration of communication towers in any residential area of Pickering in order to establish criteria for all matters pertaining to land use for the installation of these towers (see Council Resolution 102/11 —Attachment#5). Report PLN 19-13 September 3, 2013 Subject: Proposed Telecommunication Tower Installation Page 4 This resolution was a response to a number of cell tower installations that were erected without municipal and/or public consultation, specifically a proposed • tower installation under 15.0 metres at 1820 Whites Road. The Whites Road proposal precipitated an earlier Council Resolution in April 2011 requesting that Industry Canada reverse approval of the tower and amend its policies to require municipal consultation on all installations, regardless of height (see Council Resolution 87/11, Attachment#6). The proponent has provided confirmation that this proposed installation has been publicly circulated in accordance with Industry Canada requirements and the proposals are now before Committee and Council for consideration. In view of the public consultation and Council engagement associated with this proposal, the processing of this application through this report is not considered contrary to Council's Resolutions. 3. Planning Analysis 3.1 Proposed Tower Location is Acceptable Staff support the proposed location of this telecommunication tower. The proposed tower and equipment compound are located in the rural area away from residential areas. The tower is to be set back approximately 60 metres from Highway 7. The location of the tower also avoids adverse impacts on natural features along the western portion of the property. Staff recommend that City Council approve the recommendation in this report as the proposed installation has minimal impacts to the area, is not sited in proximity to incompatible or sensitive land uses, and is located with appropriate setbacks from Highway 7.

I REPORT r Proposed Wireless Telecommunications Tower 270 Highway 7, Pickering (4TR0680) July 2012 [Modified April 2013] ` ` TIIRRIR Turns Sites Inc. 70 Todd Road Georgetown, ON L7G 4R7 ATTA MST# ` TO Proposed Telecommunication Site REPORT n�N /9-/3 270 Highway 7, Pickering Background Information Globalive Wireless The use of wireless services in Canada continues to grow. Long gone are the days of the comparatively simple analog cell phone which has been replaced at an increasingly growing rate with advanced digital smart phones such as the Blackberry and iPhone. Meeting the coverage and capacity demands of consumers is a continual challenge faced by the service providers. To provide effective service, the carriers develop extensive networks comprised of antenna sites located on rooftops, other existing structures, and, as a last resort, towers. In 2008, Industry Canada awarded licenses to three new carriers to address the lack of wireless competition in Canada. As a result of lagging competition, Canada ranks last in wireless penetration amongst 22 developed countries. Canada's penetration rate sits at 65 per cent, well below the United States at 90 per cent and many European and Asian countries at well over 100 per cent. The lack of competition has also resulted in Canadians paying double what Americans pay per minute and using half as many minutes per month (Merrill Lynch). Globalive received one of the new licenses in 2008 and the company is providing voice, text and data services to Canadians under the brand WIND ("Wind") Mobile on a next-generation wireless network. WIND is committed to offering a level of wireless service presently not available in Canada. This location is part of the second phase of its deployment of the state-of-the-art GSM network in southern Ontario. The operation and development of telecommunication services and antenna sites in Canada are regulated by the federal government through Industry Canada, which encourages site sharing and the construction of multi-tenant facilities. Turns Sites Inc. is an independent manufacturer and developer of telecommunications infrastructure specifically designed to house several radiocommunications providers at each facility. The facility at 270 Highway 7, Pickering will initially service WIND but has also been specially designed with additional capacity to support multiple tenants and will be actively marketed to other 2 ATTRSNMENTI—L --TO E iEPt➢6Ti" Proposed Telecommunication Site 270 Highway 7, Pickering wireless carriers. These carriers Include the incumbents: Bell, TELUS and Rogers; and the new entrants: WIND Mobile, Public Mobile and Mobilicity. Turris' accommodation of all telecommunication carriers in Canada will ultimately reduce the number of towers required. Turris attests that the radio tower described in this notification package will be constructed in compliance with the National Building Code of Canada and comply with good engineering practices including structural adequacy. Turris is lead by two key individuals: John Wahba, Ph.D., P. Eng., P. E. is Turris principal engineer and is recognized internationally for his tower engineering - a reputation earned through 16 years of experience in structural engineering at the design and research level. Dr. Wahba has designed some the world's most complex towers — the most recent being the • "hybrid" in Jakarta, Indonesia. Dr. Wahba has co-authored several publications in the field of dynamic and static analyses of guyed towers. Dr. Wahba holds engineering licenses in over forty jurisdictions across North America and is/has been active on many technical committees (CSA, TIA, ASCE dynamics of latticed structures), and the CSA Technical committee on Communication Towers and Wind Energy. Richard Sullivan, P. Eng., is an expert in telecom and broadcast project management, operations and the development and implementation of structures and ancillary facilities. Mr. Sullivan's career spans 25 years in the supply, installation, and commissioning of communications infrastructure in both the Wireless and Broadcast industries. Mr. Sullivan's experience includes all facets culminating in senior management positions heading Manufacturing, Engineering, Field Services and Broadcast Services both domestically and internationally. Mr. Sullivan has extensive knowledge of Tall Tower and Broadcast Facility implementation and the associated construction and rigging techniques and practices required in this challenging field. He is constantly sought out for his experience and advice in resolving challenging conditions and situations. 3 Proposed Telecommunication Site �, PL /V /913 270 Highway 7, Pickering REPORT.r --� • Site Justification - A. Coverage Requirement WIND is currently in the second stage of the development of their network. WIND presently offers coverage in the greater Toronto area through a combination of their own network (Home Zone) as well as roaming on one of the incumbent networks (Away Zone). It is WIND's intention, as well as a requirement of their operating license, that Pickering be covered by WIND's own network - of which this location is ' a key component. The prime requirement is to provide coverage along Highway 7 and the surrounding areas, as shown in Figure 1.0.

The proposed location, marked in Yellow with a 60m _ tower, fulfills engineering requirements and will enable contiguous coverage with existing and future adjacent sites in the area. It also maintains a significant buffer to major residential areas. The absence of the proposed site would result in a severe coverage gap in the area.

Interest from Other Carriers 111 WIND is committed to collocating on any appropriate existing infrastructure and also makes any of their proposed sites available to the other carriers. The sharing of this site is integral to Turris' business model and as such, the incumbent carriers (Bell, TELUS and Rogers) will be notified of WIND's intentions to develop this tower. Mobilicity, one of the new entrants, has expressed interest in locating on this site and formal agreements are being discussed. C. Existing Wireless Telecommunication Infrastructure in the Area It is always preferable to locate on an existing structure. In this particular case, there are currently two wireless telecom facilities in the area around the proposed tower. Figure 2.0 shows the relationship between the proposed site and area sites utilized by Rogers and Bell. Figure 2.0: Existing Infrastructure [i ng=r- and Bell Site • u, J 4.
